West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result and reaction

West Ham’s Bowen has been involved in 10 goals in his last 12 Premier League starts (eight goals and two assists), although only three of those have come at the London Stadium (two goals and one assist). He has had a quiet half up front and has not had a lot of service. Coufal has another chance to find him in the box but sends his cross straight out for a goal-kick.

Kudus looks to rush past Toffolo on a couple of occasions, but the left-back gets the better of the West Ham man to win possession. Kudus has not had a lot of luck down the right, with most of his best work coming down the middle third of the pitch.

Paqueta and Gibbs-White battle for the ball in the air, with the West Ham man coming off worse. There are some concerns around London Stadium with the Brazil international staying down, but he returns to his feet after a short period on the floor.

WIDE! Forest break away through Gibbs-White, but his flicked pass is poor and West Ham have it back. Kudus finds Bowen, who has a cross blocked. The hosts recycle possession back to Alvarez, who strikes a shot well wide from distance.

Elanga collects a direct pass on the byline and wins a corner off Coufal, who is having an indifferent game against the winger. Gibbs-White sends an inswinging corner into the box, but Areola punches it away. Forest work the ball back to Gibbs-White. However, his second cross is cleared away and Forest are forced back. The former Wolves man will be disappointed with his deliveries into the box so far.

Sangare trips Kudus, who was breaking into Forest's half. He is fortunate not to be shown a yellow card that would see him miss their next game against Brighton.

West Ham have won just six of their last 34 Premier League matches against sides who aren’t newly promoted to the division that season (drawing eight and losing 20), with two of those wins coming against sides relegated last season (1-0 v Southampton in April, 3-1 v Leeds in May). They have been the better side so far and are putting Forest under pressure down the wings.

Ward-Prowse is pulling the strings for West Ham. He has possession on the left and looks to curl a pass into the feet of Bowen, but Vlachodimos reads his intentions and rushes off his line to claim it.

West Ham are clever in possession on the right. Ward-Prowse cuts a pass across to Soucek, who attempts to curl a pass down the right of the box to Bowen. However, he is tracked by Niakhate, who lets the ball go out for a goal-kick.

All of Forest's attacks are coming down the left. Elanga pokes the ball through Coufal's legs and rushes around the other side. He has time to find an option in the heart of the box but sends his cross straight into the gloves of Areola.
